Is it possible to get EuroSport in the westcoast ?

West coast of Europe yes, west coast in the US no

EuroSport is not on any satellites visible from North America.

french version of euro sport is visible from carribian

i checked their website, and it even mentions not being available in North America due to them not having rights for NA. this really sucks. I really miss that channel

ive been dreaming of seeing that channel :-)

oh I have been dreaming about it too

I read about ppl from florida being able to catch carribian feed
i think min 1.2m dish was required due to weak signal (remember that feed is supposed to be spot beamed over carribian ONLY)

But all those channels are encrypted so it kind of beats the purpose.

i would pay for euro sport if I could get it here

DruzeTito · #10 (**permalink**) 03-23-2005, 11:58 PM

wow some great French channels there plus two eurosports! oh heck yea i would pay..

I noticed that french ppl out of frence took care of themselves when it comes to TV. they are very much connected to France no matter where in the world they are

Other example is Canale Satelite in Caledonia (pacific ocean by australia)
here's the list of channels available to them

satelite coverage here

damn, even some parts of australia can get it. so basically North America is the only one without Euro Sport. Very sad in my opinion

I am at work right now and I went to GlobeCast's website just to see if they have any information about upcoming NTV Hayat.
I noticed that BK TV is gone from the list. I am not subscribed to that channel nor I have it scanned. But I will check to see if it's there once i get home.

Did they leave GlobeCast?
